Our first mapping workshop completed with the Turks and Caicos National Trust and local fishermen to record local knowledge and stories of the natural and cultural heritage of East Caicos @RSPBScience #turksandcaicos national trust #EastCaicos #heritage #DarwinInitiative

I'm excited to share our newly published toolkit for conservation practitioners looking to incorporate participatory approaches for working alongside communities and indigenous people in their work. Blog: tinyurl.com/mr8c4zzm Toolkit: tinyurl.com/2p9wbwdf

A great time at #treescapes24, fantastic work being done by teams across the UK and beyond. Proud of the STAND team's work on reconciling national #tree expansion targets with local realities with an interdisciplinary approach #forests #nature #landscape #skills #research

Beautiful film led by @mcsuk for our Darwin Initiative: East Caicos: Our past, our present and our future. TCI islanders watch the film, fill out the survey, and win a chance to visit East Caicos twtr.to/e96um @UKBCFs @TCITourism @TCI_News @InvestTCI @RSPBScience

Fantastic conference on conservation livelihoods in London last week with @JerseyOAC @DurrellWildlife, many inspiring talks, and I enjoyed sharing our research on Forest Friendly Cocoa @RSPBScience @Golarainforest @FionaJSanderson

Another successful trip for the @UK_Treescapes STAND project team, this time to Elan Valley and the Elenydd. More participatory scenario planning with a diverse and enthusiastic bunch of local stakeholders

A reminder that we are recruiting - if you're a conservation or social scientist interested in whether/how we can do trees & land-use change in a way which is cognisant of local attitudes & values but which doesn't compromise on global challenges👉 stand-treescapes.github.io/2022/10/27/job…
